Default why is intercept altitude labeled "LOC only"?

But, the two altitude designations when they are the same is incorrect,
redundant, and has the potential for some confusion.



I agree that it's redundant, confusing, contrary to the chart-design rules,
and shouldn't be done. My only point is that at least nothing in the SWF ILS
9 chart is overtly false (whereas the LOC-only annotation for the
GS-intercept altitude in the ASH ILS 14 chart is indeed false; if it were
true, there'd be no specified GS-intercept altitude for the ILS approach).

Yes, one is bad, the other is worse. ;-)
